Welcome!

Hello, RomanGrandpa, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to LewRockwell.com does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Hello, I'm GSS-1987. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Masculinity— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Disambiguation link notification for March 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Handedness, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Depression. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Jytdog (talk) 02:08, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

List of suicides

Hi. Again, RomanGrandpa. Regarding your edit to List of suicides, Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. I see that someone else mentioned this to you above. Please do not add material to articles without the proper citations. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

Notable alumni brief descriptions

Hello RomanGrandpa, I've noticed that some of you edits to make notable alumni entries brief remove helpful information. The brief description should answer the question "Why is this person notable?" Reducing the description to simply 'actress' or 'prominent military veteran' leaves the reader wondering why is this actress notable or why is this military veteran notable/prominent. They can go to the linked article to find out. However the purpose of the brief description is to tell them why the person is notable without them needing to click the link. With that in mind I've reverted your recent change to Wentzville Holt High School. Gab4gab (talk) 16:56, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited McCluer High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alien. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

April 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Milk, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Inappropriate to add your own commentary about academic research into white supremacist symbols being "erroneous". Lord Belbury (talk) 16:02, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

May 2021

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Soy milk, you may be blocked from editing. You seem to have a negative view of soy milk, and your disruptive editing causes other editors to repair your careless edits. Take a break, and edit another topic for awhile. Zefr (talk) 15:09, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Soy milk editing

On my talk page, you said: I find it odd that the soy milk article has at least a dozen bad or dead citations on the page, but somehow you manage just to focus on my edits. The citations I provided for my edits broadly fell within the proper parameters of acceptability, from places like Harvard Health Publishing, but they still got deleted....when I turn around and try to eliminate some of the bad links on the article, just as you had, you ding me with a warning.....its not my job to try to attempt to rewrite the article with bad links, and poorly written paragraphs.

1) no one or two editors would be responsible for all the content and source quality of any article. If you have better sources that are WP:RS, go ahead and insert them, and I'll check them. 2) you have been persistent in making changes but not always are they constructive, and today you were just careless by disrupting two sentences in two paragraphs. 3) the history of your edits would indicate some kind of determination to make a case for soy milk having harmful, high levels of phytic acid, but there are no WP:MEDRS sources to indicate that's an important concern. The current revision says all that science will allow. 4) Harvard is a respected institution, but their blog publications on health, like this one, and here, are not peer-reviewed or published by the usual medical editorial process, so if they refer to any health effect - usually, Harvard does not do this - the blog would not satisfy WP:MEDRS. 5) the "ding" warning was a way to get your attention to be more careful in your editing content and choice of sources. If you use a WP:RS source and state facts, everything will be fine. Zefr (talk) 19:35, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Fragrant Peony. I noticed that you recently removed content from Milk without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please see the talk section of milk, I did explain why RomanGrandpa (talk) 22:06, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Kirkwood High School

I removed the alumni list from Kirkwood High School because all of it was unsourced. It's acceptable to remove unsourced content. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

All of the alumni listed have embedded links where a patron can access sourced information, you should put a citation needed tag if you really require a source. RomanGrandpa (talk) 15:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
